Texas Longhorns redshirt freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers will miss Saturday’s game against the West Virginia Mountaineers in Austin due to the shoulder injury he sustained three weeks ago, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
The target return date for Ewers, who suffered an SC sprain that knocked him out of the game against Alabama late in the first quarter, has dressed for the last two games but hasn’t been full speed in pre-game warmups as he prepares for a prospect return next week in the Cotton Bowl.
Thamel reports that Ewers initially had issues breathing and swallowing following the injury, but Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said Thursday that the Ohio State transfer is anxious to get back on the field.
